This is a tutorial series for anyone who wants to learn how to use the Buchla Tip Top Audio 281t Quad Function Generator to its fullest extent. This module has an unbelievable amount of versatility and utility that would be great to add to anyone's Eurorack setup. We will be exploring both east coast tonal and west coast avant-garde uses of the synthesizer.
This first video shows an overview of the module, including sustain, transient, and cycle modes, which enable you to use the module as a quad envelope generator, a quad LFO, a quad VCO, or any combination thereof. Please leave a comment with any questions or requests and a like if this was helpful.
